G. Coad and his assistants are handling theChrlstmas rush in fine shape and no one has yet had any complaints to mako about the promptness with which the malls are distributed. Because of low water in the river the Spaulding Logging company could not secure logs and consequently has shut down for an indefinite period.

The company employs about 72 men and the last of these were laid off Saturday night. The logs are at Lucklamute. Statesman. The Installation services for the Rev. R. E.
